Just three weeks before he was assassinated Malcom X appeared on a Canadian game show. It is incredible footage. It reveals how Canadian media saw Malcom X as compared to how he was treated in the United States.

Going by Pope-Daddy now, P.Daddy later.

For some reason he can't make the connection between the rise in homeless and drug-users passed out on the street and on public transit and this inhumane policy. Doug should get a third neuron so the first two aren't so lonely.

Are you telling me that the Hickory Stix of my youth were cultural appropriation?

Can we get Pam Bondi back in front of Committee to talk about the Dow again?

Yeah, it's impossible to read any "thought leadership" post on almost *any* topic on LinkedIn now (not just AI!) without immediately seeing that it's been written by an AI. Just absolute garbage. Even if the underlying ideas might be good!

Just like Louis CK! (wasn't)

Congrats to everyone who voted for Trump and a Republican Congress "for the economy." This is what you get, a sputtering job creation engine that can't make progress like before and keeps rolling backwards.

Ooooh, God's gonna be *wicked* mad. He told him it was okay to run, and that He forgave him.

WTH asked for a Buffalo Bills night at this Raptors game? Like, the NFL season is over, and also we shouldn't be celebrating the US right now. Tone fucking deaf.

Why the F aren't the raptors on BlueSky? Infuriating.

Ugh, hate when the #Raptors squander a lead like this.

I might have gone with South-Porcupine. Feels like Oshawa would've been perfect if the subject was a former Jr. A hockey player. Still, it hit. Good (hand)job!

Why is Oshawa catching (well-deserved) strays here? This catchphrase requires a lot of very specific cultural knowledge. Source: grew up in Oshawa.

Oh, hey, thanks! I thought gandersocial was yet another completely separate SM platform. I didn't realize it was built on atproto. Does this mean this migrator will work?

I sure hope that was a stock photo and they didn't actually have a call for models for a shoot. Imagine having to explain the gig.

Trump and Israel started bombing Iran while in the middle of negotiations

Trump is starving Cuba

He’s threatening to annex Canada

He removed the leader of Venezuela

He’s threatening Greenland

He’s aiding a genocide in Gaza

This is the man who took your tax dollars for his β€œBoard of Peace”.

That's the homegame version of the US healthcare system?

Eh, it turned out okay. It made lots of people who've been able to ignore it up until now be forced to confront how toxic men's hockey (sports?) culture is. I imagine that it sucked all the joy out of winning for many Americans.

As much grief as I gave you for your ill-timed post after the USA Men's game, I have no notes on this one.
